One of my rabbits has mites that: They are whitish, and Look smaller than a grain of salt, very tiny, I can only see them with two pairs of glasses on. ANd they crawl around really FAST in his fur. His fur doesn't seem affected- there is no missing fur at all which is weird? and his skin...

Hi, I used to post on here quite a lot when I first got my rabbits but haven't been here for a while. I'm an American living with rabbits in New Zealand and when I first got my rabbits learned everything I know from people on this site :) I thought I would share to you, this bad, bad, news I...

So outside I have my rabbits outside in giant pens, around 15 ft by 25 ft. Its spring in New Zealand and the grass isn't really growing back. Last year the grass did grow back on its own but this year its not so I'm thinking it needs lime maybe? So my question is if I put down Lime how long do...

I just stumbled upon this on the internet and it made me wonder if anyone on this site does taxidermy? http://www.afieldguide.org/kits.html I've been seeing a lot of really beautiful, yet disturbing taxidermy sculptures lately using farm animals. I found these on a gallery site-...

I accidentally left the cage door open, and one of my bucks may have gotten to a female I don't want to breed with. I already had an appointment to get her spayed but its for 10 days later. Would it be dangerous to spay her if she is 10 days pregnant? Should I cancel the appointment.

I've been trying to figure out if Wondering Jew is safe to feed rabbits. I seem to keep finding sites that say it is toxic and then sites that say it can be used as fodder. Does anyone know if it is safe or not. It grows like kudzu around my house in New Zealand its just everywhere. I meant...

One of my jersey woolies got wool block 4 days ago. He was going through a bad moult and I saw fur in his poos, I was trying to keep him brushed but he still must have ingested a lot of fur. He stopped eating one night and was hunching and pressing his tummy against the cage floor, obviously had...

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: I just watched a movie called The Christmas Bunny. Incase you want to watch a Disney style, tear jerker movie with some touching moments thought I would post the link here. It has a crazy bunny lady who is played by Florence Henderson from the Brady bunch, mean...

The ad for this sooty fawn says it has blue eyes and it appears to in the photo. But in the past I bought a rabbit that appeared to be Vienna blue eyed carrier but really it was a black self chin with gray/blue and a white nose, it really appeared to be a Bew carrier but it wasn't. So I don't...

Is it ok to have a Chinchilla rabbit in a BEW breeding program? Do chinchillas have a ruby glow to their eyes?

I want one of my does to lose weight. I've cut her pellets back to... almost nothing, just 6 to 8 pellets a day. She has all the hay she wants. But she is also in a large 12 foot by 24 foot outside pen and there is lots of grass growing in there. Do you think she will just keep herself fat by...

Since this site had a redesign months ago I know this comment is a little late... but just incase there is going to be another redesign in the near future.... I find the section "Illnesses, Injuries, parasites" is hard to find, its kind of buried under the heading "Troubleshooting Management"...

My friends cat, Cleo, got in a fight the several nights ago. My friend heard Cleo shrieking then ran outside to find that Cleo had fallen into the pool. She assumed Cleo had been fighting with a New Zealand possum (they are kind of like tree dwelling meerkats). Cleo also had superficial...

All over the net it states that in the development of the Netherland dwarf breed, polish rabbits where crossed with a "wild rabbit" to improve type. None of the sites I found said what kind of wild rabbit that was. Does anyone know what kind of wild rabbit was used to help develop the...

I'm really bummed out because I just figured out my Blue eyed white Netherland Dwarf, Sebastian, who had two spotty coated parents has Megacolin :cry: . Under his white/Bew coat he is En En, a charlie. The Megacolin means that his colin is malformed and there are nerve issues so he does not...

Since I'm in New Zealand I can't get the rabbit Panacur. But I can get the horse, cattle, sheep panacur online easily. The label says Panacur 100. (horse, cattle, sheep, goats) It says fenbendazole 100g/litre. Does that equate to 100mg/ml fenbendazole? (because I have found the dose rate...
